Got a 7-10 in a sanctioned league, got a patch for it. Teammates said throw as hard as I can at one pin and pray for a bounce out, it worked! Coolest bowling moment for me, only a 180 average bowler. Good day everyone!
I made the 7-10 the first year I was bowling at age 15. Unfortunately, no one was watching, so I didn't get a sanctioned patch. 36 years later, I still haven't done it again 😂.
That is an INCREDIBLY LUCKY shot, even for a pro, who is adult and can power it!! How old were you? Because you were probably slinging a very light ball, 6-7 lb. perhaps, which doesn't move a pin weighing
A few of these aren't even made like they are suppose to..they are just bouncing them out the pit and got lucky..the 4-7-10, you have to slide the 4 pin over unto the 10...same goes for the 6-7-10 where you slide the 6 into the 7 pin...not get lucky by chucking at it and catching a great lucky break...and some of them are hardly impossible...
There is always a "luck" factor to picking up a split. Two circular objects colliding with each other will not react the same way each time. That's variance. You could catch any pin in the correct area, and due to variables, the pins spin in an undesirable way.
I converted the 4-6-7-8-10 Greek Church once. But not in League play, it was just during practice. _"We talkin' about practice, man. What are we talkin' about? Practice? We talkin' 'bout practice, man??"_ --Allen Iverson 😀
3:45 I really wanted to see how 'Righty' Simonsen threw that Back-up ball, two-handed. From way the heck over on the left side! So I slowed the playback speed down to .25x... Unfortunately, because he wasn't fully in the picture frame until after the release I didn't get to see the approach. Fortunately, I got your great Narrative, but you sounded soooo Stoned...🤤😉 and, at 4:00 I could hear the Announcers sounding like the swine that Jesus sent "Legion" into👹👹👹, going into the sea. 😳
Professionally? It’s hard enough to LEAVE it! But I think there’s a conversion on YT using a 6- or 8-lb. ball with a huge hook on it! It mighta been a case of trying and trying until it was made and put on video.
As a professional bowler I agree... those were all impossible... and I'm glad you CAPITALIZED IMPOSSIBLE just to emphasize how true it is... and not just fucking clickbait.
Professional bowlers like you see in this video bowl on the hardest oil configurations in the entire world. Everything on the lane is designed in a way to make bowling as tough as possible for those who hook the ball. It’s like asking a pga golfer to never hit a sand trap or water hazard.
Warren Mitchell once converted a 7/10. Nothing off a backboard or sideboard. Just nicked the outside of the 7 (or 10) at about 100 mph. The pin slid standing up into the spare? The alley owner witnessed it and paid for Warren's game. Imagine that! 50¢ents!!
@@wingracer1614 it was a really bad shot by me on my strike shot and then the pins just fell so crazy like dominos. I had never seen that left before nor since.
I was hoping to see that, too. I picked it up a couple months ago in league. My ball barely touched the 6 and it just tipped over left and bounced up with enough momentum that it lightly tapped the 4. I can't believe there was enough umph to get that four down. Super cool experience, though.
@SuperJ213 I've picked it once, I was just messing around with a friend in her home center. Had the front 8, had a crowd building behind us, lol... left that in the 9th. Threw my ball hard at 6, it bounced out of pit and took out 4 pin. I couldn't believe it to be honest. 😂🤣
Impossible, and yet you have video proof it is possible. Brilliant! ...and Chris Barnes' 4-6-7-9? I once left a Greek Church (4-6-7-9-10) in the 11th frame of an event. Out of frustration I did an underhand two-handed roll from off the approach. Played it like a youngster trying to move the ball with body english... Clipped the 6/10... 6 caught the 9 then slid over and took out the 4/7.... Even had it witnessed by Mr 900, Glenn Allison on the next pair... He gave me a quizzical look 😀
At one time I was a pretty good bowler and I could spare more than half of the splits I made . There was one time that I rolled the ball down the alley and I was left with the 4-6-7-10 split . I decided to hit it on the left hand side and to hit the 4-7 pin and hoping the 4 pin would slide over and hit both pins . I rolled my ball down the alley and the ball hit the 4-7 side . The 4 pin slid over , knocked down the 7 pin , touched the 10 pin and the 10 pin was left there rocking back and forth and never fell down . I even stomped on the alley to no avail ! ARRRGGG ! That was the closest ever I came to sparing the 4-6-7-10 split !
